1 The day you gave us, Lord is ended,
The darkness falls at your behest;
To you our morning hymns ascended,
Your praise shall sanctify our rest.

2 We thank you that your Church, unsleeping
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world its watch is keeping,
And never rests by day or night.

3 Across each continent and island
As dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor do the praises die away.

4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
Your children under western skies
And hour by hour as day is breaking,
Fresh hymns of thankful praise arise.

5 So be it, Lord; your realm shall never,
Like earth’s proud empires, pass away:
Your kingdom stands, and grows forever,
Till all your creatures own your sway.
